Developed by doctors at Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children in 1931, Pablum was the first baby food that was already precooked and dried and ready to serve. It contains ground and precooked wheat, oatmeal, corn meal, bone meal, dried brewers yeast, and powdered alfalfa leaf, and fortified with iron.
This baby seems to like it.

From pablum, children may naturally progress to fries, or chips, as their next favourite food.
The McCain brothers started this company in New Brunswick where potatoes are the main crop. They are the world's largest producers of frozen potatoes.

I didn't know what Pablum is. That baby made me laugh!
You can see here my food stamps.
Interesting information. I only knew about McCain chips and John McCain.

The McCain brothers have an interesting family dynamic. It's amazing the business is still going what with all their feuding!
Cute baby looks as though it could be holding some pablum in reserve. Didn't know the world conquering McCains were Canadian, certainly the right name for a feud.
